Pros

Pro

Well-balanced sim-cadey handling

Handling a car in Autosport is both streamlined and forgiving enough to make it approachable, yet complicated enough to give players a bit of a challenge. The game also avoids the issue GRID 2 had of having the same one-size-fits-all steering.

Pro

Detailed damage model

In addition to traditional bumps, hits and crashes that will damage the car and make it more difficult to drive in way that depends on the damaged part, there's also wear and tear to worry about. For example, over-revving and shifting early will wear the gearbox quicker and late breaking will damage the brakes.

Pro

Has a good variety of game types

Autosport has 5 game types - Touring, Endurance, Open Wheel, Tuner, and Street with additional game modes available through DLC. Each type has a different handling model and different cars.

Pro

No VR sickness

Since the player and the character are stationary with the vehicle creating a frame of reference, much of the issues with motion sickness are avoided.

Pro

Choice of gameplay modes

There is a free play mode called Litterbox Mode, where there is no time limit, you just choose which level to play, to then free roam and do as you like, much like a sandbox experience. Then there is the objective mode, where you are given a time limit in order to knock off a certain amount of objects within. There will also be optional objectives given, which can make for a more intense experience when trying to complete them all at once.

Having these two modes allows for a good balance of hectic gameplay as well as free form having fun by messing around gameplay.

Pro

Fun to pretend to be a cat

The gameplay is centered around being in a cats shoes, knocking objects off of shelves and other areas. This can be quite fun to basically role play as a cat at its worst.

Pro

Good for letting out your anger

You knocking everything you want to the ground by making the motions in real life. It's a great way to let out your anger.

Pro

Longevity through procedural generation

Each level is procedurally generated, while each level will maintain its overall theme there will be minor changes to the setup that allows for an experience that will be slightly different upon each playthrough. This allows for the games levels to stay fresh due to never being exactly the same.

Cons

Con

Uneven graphical fidelity

Some textures are considerably higher quality than others. For example, the cockpit is really low-res, so much so that the needles don't even move, giving a feeling of an unpolished product.

Con

Menus are not in VR, so you have to take off the Rift after each race

Con

VR support is experimental

As the support is only experimental changing certain settings in-game may crash the game.

Con

Unlicensed cars

Con

VR controls are not precise

When using the same amount of force to swing your arm holding the controller in order to knock off objects in the game, there can be a variety of outcomes. This is due to incorrect balancing of controls, as the same amount of force in a swing should result in the same amount of force being used in game, problem being that it does not, sometimes objects will go flying, other times they will barely move.

Con

Gameplay gets stale fast

While from the outset it can be fun knocking objects over, after a while this does get stale as there is little lasting appeal to the mechanics themselves.

Con

No difference in cats other than looks

It would have been interesting to see each cat have their own special ability, sadly there is no difference between them other than looks.
